Synopsis
Sylar makes quick work of Mr. Bennet and quickly makes his way out of the Primatech facility with his mind set on getting his hands on Claire once again. He arrives dressed up as some sort of delivery guy and quickly takes Claire’s mom, and Mr. Muggles, prisoner.
Claire, meanwhile, took a trip to meet her real mom with big questions about her powers. After giving her a demonstration, her mom decides to reveal a few things about her. Like namely, the fact that she can spontaneously summon fire from her hands.
The Hiro/Daddy subplot: The primary reason dad wants him back is the company is in trouble. Hiro is able to convince him that his daughter is the best choice to rescue the company and Hiro is let off the hook.
Sylar has the plan of holding Mrs. Bennet and Mr. Muggles until Claire shows up, but there is one little problem… HRG isn’t dead, and he definitely isn’t happy. He shows up with the Haitian packing some heavy artillery and manages to get rid of Sylar for the time being.
Peter being trained by Claude is as boring as it could possibly be. They get to re-use the explosion scene for the millionth time while Peter has dry heaves and sweats all over the place. Peter does begin to get the bare edges of control over his power, but he is still a long ways off. Later it is revealed that Claude is well known to HRG, but is thought to be dead.
Niki is released from prison after all of the charges against her are dropped. Seems as things come to a close, however, that it is Jessica who is in charge on the outside.
Nathan is revealed as Claire's father.
